The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 159 This Day

Liang Xin asked Li Qingzhao how he spent his day. He just felt that he never had enough time.

Li Qingzhao thought for a while: "The scent smells good at the end of the year."

"What does it smell like?"

Li Qingzhao: "Burn incense, arrange flowers, wash up. At Mao hour, dress up..."

Liang Xin interrupted Li Qingzhao: "Wait a minute, your morning washing does not include dressing up."

Li Qingzhao: "That's enough time. It takes a long time just to smell the fragrance. Xin Lang doesn't think this house smells particularly good."

"Okay, you go on."

Li Qingzhao: "Chenshi, let's go have a drink."

Liang Xin: "Chenshi, let's go have a drink???"

"That's right." Li Qingzhao stretched out: "Speaking of which, the staff at the main building are getting better and better. They can remember the preferences of every regular customer. For a picky person like me, I can remember all the weird requests. not bad."

Liang Xinxin said: "Okay, it's breakfast time, but I still have a drink for breakfast, and that's Li Qingzhao."

Li Qingzhao continued: "Si Shi, the best time of the day, is naturally the time to do some serious things, such as writing, practicing calligraphy, painting, reading..."

"At noon, it's naturally time for a nap."

"At the end of the day, I am naturally in a good mood after taking a nap, playing mahjong on the swing and playing with pills."

Liang Xin understands that this is cultural and sports leisure time.

Li Qingzhao continued: "Where's Shen Shi, let's read a book during tea time. At the Youshi family banquet, whether Xin Lang is at home or not, these people in the family also need to eat. I'm afraid Xin Lang doesn't know that Jing Yu is a master of pot throwing, and he is very powerful."

Don't tell me, Liang Xin really doesn't know.

Liang Xin asked: "Continue, continue, and then Xu Shi."

Li Qingzhao smiled: "Before I get snatched home by Mr. Xin, I need to go to Daxiangguosi Street at this time. Because this is the only time, there are many products that are not displayed during the day, and many of them are of unknown origin. , but she also has a baby. When I get tired from shopping, I naturally go home and sleep."

"Now, after studying and staying in the warehouse, I am naturally tired and have gone back to the courtyard to sleep."

Full, too full.

Li Qingzhao lived his life like this.

Envy, so enviable.

At this moment, the main entrance of Liang Mansion.

Suddenly, a guest arrives.

The porter of the Liang Mansion was not an ordinary person. Although he was a eunuch, he had been in the palace for many years. The ordinary doorman immediately called the doorman. The doorman was afraid that he had misunderstood, so he quickly called the steward on duty today.

In just a few minutes, the concierge determined the identity of the visitor.

The steward immediately ordered: "He is from Korea, carry out the arrangement arranged by the Lord, hurry, hurry, hurry."

The person who came was Pu Jiannan, a Korean.

He had discussed many times with other Koreans in Bianjing, and Han Hao only revealed one piece of news: more than 200 Korean women were sent to Mingzhou by Jurchens and transported to Bianjing via the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

No matter how much, Han Hao said, with the head of the Han family now in prison, there is only so much information that can be learned.

Based on the words provided by Han Hao, the Koreans guessed that there must be a war between the Great Koryo and the Jurchen thieves. The outcome is unknown, but Koryo definitely did not take advantage.

Then, in the eyes of the Koreans, Liang Mansion, a popular favorite around the Song Emperor, might know more information.

Finally, the side door next to the main entrance opened a crack.

Pu Jiannan immediately handed over the greeting card.

"Pu Jiannan, a student of Imperial College and a member of the Imperial Academy, would like to see Principal Inspector Liang."

Menzi glanced at the greeting card and replied: "Have you ever been to Daxiangguo Temple?"

After hearing this, Pu Jiannan didn't understand what it meant at all, so he could only answer: "I haven't been there."

"Then, can you burn incense?" "Yes."

Pu Jiannan found that after he answered for a while, the man looked at him without saying anything or moving.

What do you mean?
There was a stalemate like this for a while, and the doorman shook his head. When he was about to close the door, someone suddenly came and handed over a greeting card as well.At this time, Pu Jiannan could see clearly that the person who came quietly handed the disciple a bunch of money.

The door immediately accepted the person's invitation and someone sent it inside.

As for this person, he can sit in the reception room of the concierge and be served tea and snacks.

Could it be that you have to pay for refreshments?
Before Pu Jiannan could react in his head, another Korean who followed him immediately took out a gold leaf and stuffed it into Menzi's hand. Menzi then said: "Looking at how generous you guys are, I'll just teach you this. Burning incense also starts at the door. , one stick of incense is burned on it.”

Pu Jiannan's follower immediately responded: "Yes, yes, thank you for the advice."

The doorman then stepped aside and invited Pu Jiannan to sit down in the concierge's guest waiting area, where he would also have refreshments.

Then…….

Wait, wait.

When the person who came later left with a smile on his face, they were still waiting.

Tea is just like plain water.

Still waiting.

Pu Jiannan's follower suddenly reacted: "Yes, as I just pointed out, the incense burning also starts from the door, and the incense is burned one by one."

"Damn it." Pu Jiannan also understood.

When I went out, I saw that their greeting cards were still on the concierge's table.

Pu Jiannan stepped forward and was about to blame his disciple, why didn't you send me my greeting card? However, his follower had an eye for it and immediately sent him another gold leaf.

After the door was closed, a man dressed as a servant came over soon, took gold leaves, and a greeting card, and stood looking at Pu Jiannan with a smile on his face.

Give me another gold leaf.

Pu Jiannan was helpless.

By the time he sat in the waiting room outside Liang Xin's study, he had already gone through the experience of being the doorman, the boy who sent greetings, the second door steward, the housekeeper, and Liang Xin's long-term follower Liang Zhong.

There are five courses in total.

Pu Jiannan did not feel sorry for the spent golden leaves, but felt a sense of joy.

The decadent Song Dynasty.

Yes, that's what he was thinking at this time.

It was so difficult to enter a eunuch's home simply because the eunuch was favored by the Emperor of Song Dynasty.

Has the Song Dynasty fallen into such a situation?

As a Korean with extraordinary wisdom, Pu Jiannan quickly adjusted the purpose of his trip.

In Liang Xin's study, Liang Xin chatted with Su Shi alone for the first time.

The ancients just lacked information flow, not a lack of wisdom.

Su Shi told Liang Xin a very simple truth.

"Brother Xin, we can laugh away our grudges. But, Zhang Dun. He is different. He will never be friends with me again. This is where my suspicion of him comes from. Since I returned to Bianjing , meeting him is like meeting an old friend, but we will not be old friends. He wants to kill me, and my brother does the same to him."

After finishing speaking, Su Shi asked: "Do you think he and I can still be friends?"

Liang Xin: "No, just like a broken mirror can be reunited."

Su Shi added: "You have a misunderstanding about Ziyou."

Su Shi obviously planned to speak for his brother Su Che.
